This Week: Snitch
Welcome to TPMCafe's Book Club table. This week we're hosting a discussion on Ethan Brown's new book, Snitch.
In this book, Ethan Brown takes us inside the criminal justice system and how it has been abused by a system of informants and collaborators who know that despite repeat offenses they can get get back on the streets in no time by cooperating with the police - or even by providing false information.
Joining him in the discussion will be Professor Douglas Berman, Professor Alexandra Natapoff, Professor Mark Kleiman and John McWhorter, columnist for the New York Sun and senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.
